Detailed Review
The JBU by Jambu Women's Tahoe MJ Water Ready Sneaker stands out in terms of comfort and durability, making it an excellent choice for summer activities. The non-slip All Terra traction outsoles provide remarkable grip, ensuring stability whether you're navigating rocky trails or walking along wet surfaces. Furthermore, the EVA insoles add a layer of cushioning, which enhances comfort for extended wear.
A unique feature of this model is its water-ready capability. Designed specifically for warm-weather adventures, the upper material allows for quick-drying, which is ideal if you find yourself splashing through puddles or walking near water. Additionally, the bungee cording system provides an adjustable and secure fit, keeping the sneakers snug against your foot as you move.
Ventilation is another highlight of the Tahoe MJ. With strategic cutouts, your feet remain cool and breathable, reducing the chances of overheating during those hot summer days. However, it's worth noting that some users may find the arch support lacking if they require more structure underfoot.
Overall, if you are looking for a versatile, stylish, and functional sneaker for summer activities, the JBU by Jambu Women's Tahoe MJ proves to be a solid investment.

Love this brand, quality items always! Cute designs. This shoe is waterproof, and ready for anything, whether you are grocery shopping or wading thru a river, or hiking on a trail. Fit is great, materials are great, and comfort is KEY. Awesome support, breathable, easy to clean, well made. Pick any style, they are all great!
Own several Jambu shoes and this is my favorite! Super comfortable…easy to put on and they look rugged. Loved them so much I gifted a pair to a friend and she loves them too!
I have several pairs of Jambu. They are the most comfortable and cute shoes ever! The Prime price was amazing. I’m 70 and always look for stylish and most importantly comfortable shoes. You don’t need to worry about the toe box. It is so roomy I never order wide. My friend went crazy over another pair I have and ordered several pairs during Prime day. They never disappoint!
Overall, I am pleased with the strength of the sole, the padding and comfort, the way it protects my foot in riverbeds, and the traction. I think it fits a little loose around the upper foot/ankle area. The elastic (“quick tie”) laces need a clasp that allows you to tighten them. I can draw the “strings”, but there is nothing to hold them properly. I may have to cut them and tie them like regular laces. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. It’s the 3rd pair of this water shoe I have ordered. I hike in them every summer during day hikes (usually not over 7 miles) with water crossings or river scrambles all over IN, TN, NC, MI, and southern IL. They usually last a year or two with regular use.
Easy on and off comfortable sporty look. Can also be a great water shoe.
These shoes are lightweight and comfortable but forget adjusting them for foot width. I HATE that everyone of the hiking/water shoes out there are TOO wide. These are no exception. What is the use of adding a bungie cord if it's not for the adjustment of you fit? Just for "good" looks? Nope.I so wish my FAVORITE shoe for this category was still made. Ahnu Tilden! Teva, get on it!
Perfect fit wearing in water or out. Stylish and cute for everyday. They don’t rub feet and I put in washer. Great non slip soles.
I bought these. Shoes were not the ones pictured. I already had these. But kept anyway because I like them so much
